Californian filmmaker and new mum of twins, Liz Canning feels isolated and disconnected until she swaps her minivan for a cargo bike, a long-frame bicycle designed for carrying passengers and heavy loads.

Featuring stories from the US, Australia and beyond, MOTHERLOAD describes how the earliest bicycles facilitated women's suffrage and liberated the poor, and how 21st century bicycles are empowering mothers, families and communities around the world.

This screening coincides with the public consultation on Wollongong City Council's Cyling Strategy. Fill in the community survey to demand better bike lanes here:  https://www.haveyoursaywollongong.com.au/help-shape-the-wollongong-cycling-strategy
